Eduard Brücklmeier

Eduard Robert Wolfgang Brücklmeier (8 June 1903 – 20 October 1944) was a German diplomat and resistance fighter against the Nazi régime, who was executed as a result of his association with the 20 July Plot.

In 1933, the year the Nazi Party seized power in Germany, Brücklmeier found himself dealing with minority issues while working at the Consulate General in Katowice.

By that time both Brücklmeier and Foreign Office State Secretary Ernst von Weizsäcker were hoping that German dissenters, working with the British government, could thwart Hitler's ever more evident plans for war.

By this time, Brücklmeier had established extensive links with the resistance fighters that took part in the 20 July Plot to assassinate Hitler.

Brücklmeier wished to support the plot's attempted coup d'état, but was not informed that it had been delayed to 20 July.
